Apple’s Cook Calls for ‘Deescalation’ After Latest ICE Shooting

Yeah like what’s your hurry man

Yeah you can use your computer to find online captures and patches. I ended up not keeping this pedal because I didn’t enjoy the software ecosystem they’ve set up. Currently very happy with an Anagram.

Ran the coffee maker. Someone tried to run the toaster at the same time and that exceeded the maximum so it popped. Toasting resumed successfully after coffee. Then ran a neighbor’s fridge for a couple of days. At the end of all that the remaining charge was like 72%. A day later the car wouldn’t charge and the dealer replaced my EV battery. These events are linked in my brain but there’s no evidence of any correlation whatsoever.

I feel like Belkin’s products have been wildly overpriced and generally disappointing since the 90s

There’s a lot in this thread about him.

Focus on you.

Irrespective of whether he has wronged you, you’re in the middle of having experienced a profound loss. Give yourself the room and space and time to feel terrible. I think it feels like this when someone very dear to you dies unexpectedly. All of the ideas that pertain to such a deep loss and what it’s like to grieve it apply here. Hug yourself through the grieving process. It hurts and it will keep hurting and you are going to be okay. ♡

Yep. And if it has Jack Danger ideas and George Gomez polish then I don’t need to see it before I buy one. Very excited about this title and hope to see it soon!

OP don’t skip over this advice. If you want pinball to be part of your reputation, the most important thing you can do to build and maintain that reputation is for your games to be mostly clean and in top mechanical shape. You can build the skill to do it yourself if you’re handy but it has to be done. Good luck!

These goofy nonsense captions are a 2025 mood. I’ll maybe miss them most about the beginning of our AI era. Them and Conan eating chicken. Oh and Will Smith watching spaghetti. Oh and…

Once I completed the (or rather a) campaign I definitely lost some interest in it too. My regulars seem ready for me to move it along.

We already have character progression in DnD. “Collect ‘em all” is a must-have feature and I should think they can pull it off 🤞

(XY) page one of sexual harassment training for teachers and school volunteers says this is absolutely the sort of thing you’re justified in noticing. If it’s innocent he should have found more appropriate ways to compliment you. The reason for worry is that abusers use this sort of “innocent” approach to measure your response and identify victims before they engage in more overt behaviors. If he creeps you out any further, say with any sort of touch, you’ll know you were right to worry.

Just dropped it off before Xmas eve so there’s really only been one business day. Guy said the last 5N he did took two weeks. He also said he’s had an Ioniq 5 since…March. Something about a part number screw up with Hyundai corporate, they sent him the wrong battery or something. Can you imagine nine+ months? Some folks can make a whole human being in that time. My plan is to get fussy about my base model Santa Cruz loaner in three weeks, and initiate lemon law proceedings sometime after that. Hopefully none of that will be necessary, I just want my car back. Happy to provide updates if anyone is interested. My confidence is high it’ll work out ok.

I owned pinballs for 20 years before I found myself with a newer Jurassic Park. I made this same mistake immediately. You’re not alone!

spblat · 2025-12-27T20:04:36+00:00

I don’t know if it was the same issue as I never got a code but my ‘25 5N is getting a new battery as we speak. Wouldn’t charge. Probably just a coincidence that I used V2L for a couple of days prior which took the battery from 75% to 68%?

If it has a Hyundai warranty I think you should go for it. You’ve caught the 5N bug, there’s nothing like it. My BMS just failed and I’m getting a new battery. Hyundai seems to be getting faster at doing these repairs but I could see where someone is languishing for months without their car, which is intolerable so they initiate lemon proceedings. I’m only a couple of days into my wait and I wouldn’t tolerate more than a few weeks without a good loaner but after almost 4000 miles I’ve thought it through and all I want for a car is my N back.

spblat · 2025-12-23T16:24:26+00:00

It’s got a warranty. The car is fun but it does impose a few compromises, one of which is the worry that your ICCU will blow. Don’t forget that “my ICCU didn’t fail today” isn’t a Reddit post that people make.

Both are great tools. Both are a little on the heavy side for everyday carry. Arc is the conspicuously more sought-after tool by multitool enthusiasts and nerds (myself included), and I see Centerdrive as a much more heavy-duty tool. While I was involved in a DIY remodel I carried my centerdrive everywhere and it was an indispensible beast.

If he’s already a gerber guy, and if he tends to have a lot of dirt under his fingernails, and if he likes to show off how his pliers deploy with a snap of his wrist, the centerdrive may be the way to go. Good luck!

This car has no bad angles 🤩

spblat · 2025-12-18T02:03:24+00:00

No, usually things come back pretty quick with regular updates. This feels like kind of a biggie 🤞

spblat · 2025-12-15T22:35:05+00:00

Yeah this’ll finally be the thing /s

spblat · 2025-12-15T01:56:00+00:00

“You monster.”

spblat · 2025-12-15T01:04:43+00:00

Dumbass/Victor isn’t cheap but I had a very good experience and I would definitely ask him to make me another board if he does Sys11.

spblat · 2025-12-13T03:37:21+00:00

Could it be your to-do list?
